TTWB stands for “toe-touch weight bearing.” It means the foot may touch the ground for balance, but body weight is kept off the limb. TTWB is commonly used after hip, pelvis, femur, knee, or ankle injuries and surgeries. It is a mobility instruction used by orthopedic teams and physical therapists during recovery.
